Make Sussex KOA your base camp for one of Southern New Brunswick’s most iconic events—the Atlantic Balloon Fiesta! Feel the excitement as 30ish hot air balloonists from around the world take to the skies, with sometimes balloons even landing right here at our campground or at our sister site, the Sussex Drive-In.
